Do you remember the first professor you saw on campus? Was he the stodgy, absent- minded, frumpish person that you'd ex- pected to find? Happily, our faculty and administration are made up of down-to- earth people who have set their aspiration for the future of the students at a level where they will be able to contribute the most to life. One often wonders what prompts so many individuals in their field, to spend their time in a job which is relatively unrewarding in material aspects. Perhaps they feel that arousing the latent intellect of young people, and watching them use it, is ample reward. Most of us do not realize the advantages to be gained by associating with those who are our teachers and perhaps pass up many op- portunities to gain knowledge not found in books. But some of us find that working with the college staff is an open door to even wider vistas beyond the four years spent in learning. 8

•t! 7S our president, and A college is something given to us. It is our heritage from the years gone by and from thousands of hands who gave us what we cherish today. A college is something that we pass on to the generations to follow us, a heritage made better because we added our best to it. In conspicuous measure we at Witten- berg enjoy both these high privileges. We are rich in our inheritance; we are richer still that we may hand it over, enhanced, to those who will come after us. For both we give abundant thanks. CiiauJX .tJL. G. CLARENCE C. STOUGHTON CLARENCE C. STOUGHTON President Stoughton has had a rich background of experiences which have made his services all the more valuable to Wittenberg. Before he came to us in 1949, he served as president of Wagner College for ten years and traveled for four years as the Stewardship Secretary and Executive Di- rector of the Layman's Movement of the United Lutheran Church.
